Mobile mode problems

[Rob Kolanko]

I would like to report two problems when mobile mode is used.

1) Accordion tabs do not work in mobile mode. Only the first tab is displayed and there is no means to switch to the next tab. Accordion tabs did work in a NetTalk 6.2x version, prior to version 6.29, although the tab heading did not appear and changing tabs did not work like in desktop mode. If accordion tabs in mobile mode would work like they do in desktop mode, that would be super cool.

2) Buttons will not send value to server in mobile mode. This is the most important issue to me.

Attached is a modified web1 example. The NetWebForm tabs are accordion and a new browse of the “Alias” table was added to general tab of the NetWebForm. A button was added which changes a session variable and refreshes the “Alias” table browse to use a different filter. Everything work fine in desktop mode, but not in mobile mode. The filter button does nothing in mobile mode. To change modes, I changed the mode in the WebHandler procedure and recompiled the program.  An ALIAS table to use for testing is included. I tested this application with MSIE8, Firefox, Android Tablet (user agent Safari), Blackberry Bold( user agent Mobile Safari). MSIE reports a script error when the filter button is pressed in mobile mode.

Thanks Robert Kolanko

Thanks for the Report Rob - and the example.

I'll see what I can do about the Accordion - that may not be easy to implement - but I'll give it a try.
(The accordion belongs to jQueryUI, not jQueryMobile - which is why it changes to the "wizard" - but Accordion would be nice, so worth a try.)

more on the button shortly.

regarding the Accordion tabs -
at the moment it's automatically converting to a "wizard" tab.
But because the wizard previous, and wizard buttons have no "mobile text" it's not doing it very well.

A short-term work-around for you is to go to the WebServer procedure,
buttons, Find wizPreviousButton and wizNextButton in the list and give them both some
"mobile text".

Then the tabs are at least usable.
